Eromanga Living History Centre

Take a step back into the life of a 1900s Country Women's Association (CWA) member, or gain an understanding of the various driving forces behind the region. Admire the amazing collection of period items that have been kindly donated from locals for the centre. Lounge around in media room and enjoy the 15 minute video depicting the events and people that have led to Eromanga today.

Situated within the perimeters of Opalopolis Park, the Living History Centre is well worth stopping in. As the living History Centre is self guided the key is available to gain access to the building from the Eromanga Royal Hotel.
